Chapter 1860: The Herlands Family’s Choice

Leonard Churchill glanced at Lenny again, didn’t think much about it, and led his people inside.

It was not only because this old man was a absolutely trustworthy person that his grandmother had entrusted to him, but also because he always felt an inexplicable connection with this old man.

Lenny looked around cautiously, trying to spot any hidden dangers.

But when he considered Leonard Churchill’s strength, he laughed at himself.

Then he followed them in.

Over a thousand Forbidden Curse Masters, dragging their families along, entered the hall and immediately saw Leonard Churchill and his two companions.

Camilla and Tracy Garcia did not conceal their faces this time; their stunning faces astonished everyone.

In fact, Ray had already recognized them as the three people he had seen outside Sinless City last time.

He just hadn’t expected their identities to be so special.

Before everyone could question the trio’s identities, Lenny stepped forward with a knight’s salute, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Then he turned to Tracy Garcia: "Greetings, Priest Garcia."

Camilla nodded at Lenny, the Holy Grail of Kingship swirling around her, revealing her identity.

The members of the Herlands Family were not familiar with Camilla, the illegitimate daughter of the late king, but most of them recognized Tracy Garcia.

After all, she was the only bloodline descendant of the Great Priest Lineage.

As for the newly appointed Great Priest Lineage of the "White Family," not a single one of the Four Knights’ families recognized them.

Hearing Lenny’s greetings, everyone understood that before them stood a member of the Augustus Imperial Clan and the true Great Priest of this generation.

Camilla’s identity could be discussed later, but Priest Garcia’s was unquestionable.

Several elders who knew Tracy Garcia stepped forward to salute: "Greetings, Priest Garcia."

"Hmm."

Tracy Garcia nodded and introduced, "This is Emperor Camilla, daughter of the late king, bearer of the Diamond Q-White Queen mark, and the rightful heir to the Augustus royal power..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Some of the over a thousand people here were key members who had gone to Sinless City earlier; they had already guessed some of the hidden truths—another struggle for the throne.

As a family of the Four Knights, they knew that only a king recognized by the Great Priest of the Garcia Family could be the rightful king.

But in the two-thousand-year history of Orlan, there had been many power struggles for the throne, so the Herlands Family members were not surprised.

Usually, in such court intrigues, it was best for ministers like them not to take sides.

Loyalty to the one on the throne was sufficient.

But now the situation was different.

The brutality of King Arthur of Orlan had chilled the hearts of the Herlands Family. Their family had been loyal to the royal family for generations, sacrificing so much blood and life. Who would have thought they would end up with the entire family being exiled?

All those who could come here were "sinners," harboring some unwillingness in their hearts.

Originally, they thought they would be exiled criminals for life, but now, at the crossroads of fate, another choice appeared before them.

And it seemed like a better choice than before.

The spacious guild hall fell into silence.

Everyone exchanged glances and their eyes unanimously turned to the young Ray among them.

Seeing the eyes of his family fall on him, Ray suddenly understood the deep meaning of his grandmother’s parting words.

This was the moment to decide the family’s fate.

He had to choose the future path for the Herlands Family.

Ray instantly felt the weight of immense pressure on his shoulders, and a maturity beyond his years appeared in his brow.

He glanced at Lenny from the corner of his eye and already knew the purpose of this old man bringing him here.

But he also deeply understood that this decision was extremely difficult.

A slight mistake could lead the family to an irreversible fate.

Ray was initially indecisive, but then he saw Leonard Churchill beside Camilla, and his expression changed slightly.

Originally, he thought this person was an enemy causing his family’s suffering, but after going back and thinking it over, he realized that this person had actually saved him and the whole family.

No matter if the mission had failed, their Four Knights Family no longer had a foothold in the Royal Court controlled by the Silver Moon Sect.

Exile might have been the best path.

Besides, the Zeus’s Thunderbolt he had in his sleeve was given by this person.

At this thought, Ray couldn’t muster any hostility.

According to ancestral rules, the rightful Augustus king stood before him, the king they had vowed to protect in the era of the Four King’s Knights.

But the one who now sat on the throne was also king.

The family had sworn loyalty to him before...

Ray struggled with his decision.

Finally, seeing the atmosphere grow increasingly tense, a flash of insight made him understand the true meaning behind his grandmother’s intentions!

A few years ago, at King Arthur’s coronation ceremony, it was his grandmother and his second grand-uncle as clan leaders who had sworn fealty. Ray, being too young, wasn’t qualified to enter the hall.

In other words, he didn’t have to worry about breaking his knight’s oath.

Understanding the old people’s intentions, Ray realized they had already made the choice for the Herlands Family’s future.

At this thought, Ray did not hesitate anymore.

He stepped forward, respectfully saluting like Lenny: "Greetings, Lord Garcia. Greetings... Emperor Camilla."

With his declaration, the Herlands Family members followed suit, paying their respects one after another.

They knew this

In an instant, the spacious guild hall reverberated with

The East Wilderness was at a new turning point, seemingly starting from this moment,

...

Leonard Churchill had long expected this scene.

He did not trouble the Herlands Family outside Sinless City back then, anticipating today.
